Greetings my beloved followers!!! I know I never keep my blogging consistence, but I assure you that I have been working hard behind the scenes to walk the talk. I encourage people on here all the time, and what hypocrite would I be if I did not put my own words into practice.
So last week officially on April 15th, 2026, at around 11:30AM I passed my driving road test I had been neglected from being able to take because there was a mysterious error in the system, and none of the two driving schools I went to could pull me up. After countless times of contacting the DMV and administration via emails and phone calls; their own resolution was to attend the road test in person at the DMV. The whole point of going through the driving schools was because I did not have a vehicle to take to the DMV for test taking. Nonetheless, I shifted my focus on finding a school that provided the lessons, but also allowed for borrowing their own vehicle at the DMV. After several searches, I thank God Ravie's school came up and he made the process easy and ensured we practiced right before the test enough times to feel confident I had it down.
I have dreamed that this day would come for years and years. I hated having to admit to fellow coworkers and other people in general that I did not know or had a valid driver's license. It was such an awful embarrassing discussion each and every time. Having to explain why something so common was not already a part of my trajectory; it made me feel so insignificant and like I was not a real adult. People constantly accusing me of being afraid to drive or assuming I was incompetent because I wasn't already driving. It was so infuriating to have to deal with that on a daily basis, and knowing so many people crossed my path with the time and resources and never pitched in to help me get to this point.
As an adult, I am fully aware we are now all responsible for ourselves and not even our "family" has the obligation to assist us in life with reaching goals big or small. However, if people actually cared about me like they constantly claim that they do, they could have reached out and helped me learn to drive without me having through go through this dreading process of being ripped off hundreds of dollars through driving schools to be able to get my license. Nonetheless, I never gave up on meeting that goal that was a million bricks over my shoulders.
Now, that the road is literally open for business in my favor, I am praying the Lord will provide me soon that nice used vehicle that is safe for me to drive 24/7. I know I am literally just a baby driver with zero experience other than the lessons I paid for and the weekends my stepdad has let me practice with him around the neighborhood. But I promise to always drive safely not because I fear a speeding ticket or ticket in general, but I truly cherish the privilege to being a licensed driver. When something takes this much time and effort to accomplish, you take care of it like a fine porcelain because attaining it was not easy in the least bit. I still look forward to the other crowning moments when I drive through a drive-thru and order something. The moment I drive alone will also be so surreal and I cannot wait for all those moments to come to pass as well.
I am forever grateful I can finally put this burden behind me and whenever anyone asks I can say, I don't have a car yet, but I do have my license. One more notch on the belt of lifetime progress that make me really happy and proud of all my hard work. A lot of people still look at it like, wow you just now finally got it - unbelievable! The only reason my journey to driving has been so prolonged was because I had the wrong mindset on how things work. I thought that unless I had a job to support a car there was no point in getting a license if I could not afford a car. Little did I know that without a car becoming employed is so much more strenuous to get in the first place. I could have always worked with a company that provided the cars had I at least had my driver's license. But all that erroneous thinking just caused my delay amongst other factors in my life.
Again, I am over the moon, to finally start a new chapter in my life of being a driver and having that freedom to transport myself from point A to B without the need for a shared ride or walking or the bus. When I purchase my car or someone amazing gifts me one, I will pinch myself as a momentous way to celebrate it! Thank you for those that support my blogging and hopefully I can continue to bring you wonderful new news in my journey to overcoming my life's obstacles. Thank you for your time and cooperation. So, with all of that let me get back to my main goal of spreading encouragement and reminding myself and others you are not a mistake because God that created you is perfect and He cannot make mistakes. You are here for a plan, and a purpose so allow Jesus into your life and discover that plan for your life to be fulfilled. Thank you and remember leaving a small comment or feedback is always welcomed!!
